I picked up another 8 GB of memory for my Dell Precision T5500 as the first set of memory I bought wouldn't play with what was in it. 16 GB ram a 1 GB NVIDIA FX-300 video card, and it boots nice and fast and programs run quick. $60 for the computer, had the hard drives laying about and $45 for the memory, nice and cheap as far as I am concerned. Just have to set up my email (yes, I still use Outlook
) and copy pst folders over and it will become my primary PC.
Computers are starting to catch up to the TE. I have almost as many PCs as I have multimeters.
CEA (computer equipment anonymous) for the next thread, maybe? Just keeping them out of the landfill.
I used to enjoy going old bone yards before I got a company car and then I ended up buying my old company car when I retired, made perfect sense to buy it, I knew its entire history, never had any problems with it and it was the best car that I have had the pleasure of calling mine, it even has a TV with built in surround system as standard
I did the same thing, 2013 RAM Tradesman cargo van when we were getting our replacements. Also made sense, as I knew the history and I paid about half of Kelly Blue Book value. Even SWMBO loves having it. Alas, no TV and surround sound. Far more important is the dual climate control!!!!! Beer fridge on my side, toaster oven on hers.
